What a typical phone user does on their phone?

  • Overwhelmingly - scroll social media
  • Messaging
  • listen to music
  • watch videos
  • make some pictures and videos
  • scan QR codes
  • maybe - send files
  • maybe - download and print out a PDF
  • maybe - read a book
  • maybe, JUST MAYBE - stock/currency/crypto trading

Influencers may be using their phone more for editing and filming, but that is it.

Nothing I can think of would benefit from AI. Maybe trading, but that AFAIK is a terrible idea.

Edit: Forgot messaging. AI doesn't help with this one much either.

One of my broker gives me AI-advice on trading. And yeah, that is reaaaaaaly a bad idea ๐Ÿ˜‚

Chat, you forgot chat. But yes, that's about. Nothing AI could do for me, even if I really really really wanted it to.

I guess they don't even know themselves but are forced to market the shit. And usually people will just gulp down what gets pushed into their throat, digitally.

AI trading assistant for everyone is an absolutely excellent concept!

It allows you to directly control the market by having the "AI" tell masses what you want them to push for. Best part - doesn't even need to be AI, you can just claim it's the AI that generates your "advices" and take no responsibility for your own orchestrations.

Absolutely amazing, you no longer have to fool people into performing certain actions like Trump is doing. You just tell them directly.

Hehe, yeah maybe even like that. I would not even lift an eyebrow if that came out. I'd guess a lot of people actually follow those advices...look at eToro (if they're still alive).
